Wax Treasure (Vinyl)

[GraemeE]

1st of 3 that I picked up for the colder months

[GraemeE]

#2 - I had originally bought this one on CD almost immediately after seeing the movie when it came out back in the early 2000s

[GraemeE]

3rd just showed up in the mail - ive had my eye on this comp since it came out but @Matt posting Kid A in the music thread made me realize that the time to buy was now

[Jek]

@GraemeE I bought that album about a decade ago simply because I thought the cover, and moustache, was great. What an album! Non-stop Italodisco prototechno bangers.

Got these on Saturday

Made by Tanner Goods? That's pretty cool.

[popvulture]

Haha Tanner had their hands in a lotta pies there for a minute. I have a leather slipmat they made somewhere.

[GraemeE]

@Jek @popvulture I think it was the sort of thing where the first 20-30 had a leather sleeve and the rest had a standard one

Can't imagine it would be very cost effective to make them for an entire run

That being said the music world does do plenty of things that a normal person might find excessive

Case in point is this box set I was reading about this week.....

Looool that is absurd. I mean I liked some ATDI just fine, but assigning an artist that much weight seems like a real stretch. At the end of the day though, I suppose fans gonna fan.

[GraemeE]

@popvulture I'm trying to think if an artist/ band exists that warrants that extensive of a box set

I don't even think Neil Young or Bob Dylan has 57 records worth of material i would find necessary to own

[Jek]

That's crazy that he has that much material without even including at the drive-in or the mars volts... Wild.

@GraemeE said in Wax Treasure (Vinyl):

…. 57 records worth of material …

That’s a lot.

First song I came across - O -
Omar with John Frusciante.
Stuck and Stoked!

But 57 LPs … think about five of them are glorious and you’ll have the time to find them.
How long will you take?

[GraemeE]

Had some store credit to use this weekend

[SKT]

@GraemeE nice haul

[GraemeE]

@SKT seeing your Wilco LPs sparked the desire in me to start gathering my favorites of theirs that I used to own on CD

[SKT]

@GraemeE I love that album man. I got this recently on a whim (it may sound awful…we’ll see) Still need A.M. on vinyl. Got Cousin too but it’s tucked away as a Christmas present from my kids.

[GraemeE]

@SKT that looks awesome - even if it sounds mediocre it will be great eye candy.

I'm still trying to get into Cousin
2 listens so far and it hasn't grabbed me....but I'm not giving up quite yet

@SKT I wasn’t really familiar with Wilco until I saw them this summer at a festival in Birmingham (UK). They were absolutely superb. Would definitely see again.
